A statement from
The Honorable Ellen F. Robertson, Councilwoman
Richmond City Council, Richmond Gateway 6th Voter District
Regarding: City Issuing a Request for Proposals for Major Downtown Redevelopment
Project
(Richmond, Virginia U.S.A.) - "As
the Richmond City Council member representing the central business district of
Richmond, I am elated and supportive of the Mayor’s proactive movement to put
out for competitive bid one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the
region, located in the heart of downtown Richmond. The City of Richmond has
made huge sacrifices over the last 25 years to build a population and workforce
to position the City for economic growth.
I look forward to increased economic
development to expand our resource base and to continue to provide quality
services to our residents and to fulfill our leading priorities, which include
providing quality education to all children, fulfilling our community wealth
building goals for families of poverty, and development of inclusive and affordable
housing.
I support the leadership that Mayor
Stoney is bringing to the City."
